    This entire system is fundamentally flawed. Why is so much shit packed into a single bill? Why the fuck is money for Israel contained in the same bill as funding to keep our government from shutting down? How did it get to this point?

      what’s the alternative? the idea is to make compromise between “extremes” and end up somewhere in the middle: one side has to compromise on things they don’t mind much about to give the other something they really want, which should lead to getting the biggest issues for both sides at least partly resolved

      it’s not that packing a bunch of deals together into 1 package is a problem; it’s the road blocks just to make the other side look ineffective that’s the problem
